MILLIONS IN MANUFACTURING.
A Complete Resume of Centre County
Industries for a Three Year
Period.
Steady increases in the value of in-
dustrial production in Centre county
during a period of three years were
shown in reports submitted yesterday
to Secretary of Internal Affairs James
F. Woodward, by M. Hoke Gottschall,
chief of the bureau of statistics and
information in the Pennsylvania De-
partment of Internal Affairs.
The reports cover the years 1916,
1917 and 1918 and are being made,
public jointly for the purpose of com-
parison and to show the development
in the county’s industrial resources.
Figures for 1919 are now being gath-
ered by the bureau under the direc-
tion of Mr. Gotschall and will be made
public in the near future.
The reports given to Secretary
Woodward show that in the three
years production valuation increased
almost $5,000,000. In 1916 the value
of manufactured products in Centre
county was $7,438,600. In 1917 the
value of the manufactures increased
to $11,325,800 and in 1918 the reports
show the value was $12,362,500.
The capital invested in the various
industries of the county likewise in-
creased during the three years. Fig-
ures show that in 1916 the industries
represented a total capital of $6,343,-
600. In 1917 the invested capital
reached a total of $7,214,700 and in
1918 the total capitalization of the
various plants was $7,288,000.
Reports made to the bureau of sta-
tistics and information during the
three years show that there were 117
manufacturing establishments in the
county in 1916; 112 in 1917 and 117 in
1918. The decrease in the number of
industries in 1917 corresponded with
the decrease in practically all counties
of the State during that year. These
decreases were due very largely to the
inability of manufacturers to get suf-
ficient labor and raw materials during
parts of the war period. Although
there were just as many industrial
plants in the county in 1918 as there
were in 1916 there was considerable
change in the kinds of industry dur-
ing the three year period. During
1916 there were 36 different kinds of
production represented. In 1917 the
variety of industry totalled 42 and in
1918 statistics show there were 44
different kinds of manufacture.
Centre county industries maintain-
ed a high producing standard during
the three years. This is indicated in
tables showing the average number of
days all of the plants ware in opera-
tion. In 1916 Centre county indus-
tries worked an average of 306 days.
In 1917 the average number of work-
ing days was 304 and in 1918 the av-
erage was 290.
Although there was a big increase
in the value of production during the
three years there was comparatively
little change in the number of persons
employed in industry. During 1916,
8,664 persons were engaged in indus-
trial pursuits. In 1917, although
there were fewer industrial plants,
the number of people working in the
industries totalled 3,911. In 1918,
3,772 persons were employed. This
decrease in 1918 was due probably to
the fact that quite a number of per-
sons, foreigners mostly, left the coun-
ty to work in plants in other parts of
the State.
Of the total number of persons em-
ployed in 1916, 2,220 were Americans
and 1,434 were foreigners. In 1917
there were 2,549 Americans, 1,362 for-
eigners engaged in idustry. During
1918 the figures show 2,629 Americans
and 1,14F foreigners were employed.
A further survey of employment
figures shows that of all the persons
employed in 1916, 3,385 were males
and 269 were females. In 1917 there
were 3515 males and 396 females and
in 1918 there were 8,483 males and
289 females.
Considering the total number of
persons employed in the county there
were very few minors engaged in in-
dustrial occupations. In 1916 there
were only 18 boys and 8 girls under
the age of 16 years employed. In
1917 there were 24 boys and 6 girls
and in 1918 there were 29 boys and 8
girls.
During the three year period wages
in the county were nearly doubled.
Employees in the various industrial
plants in 1916 received $2,277,700 in
wages. In 1917 the county’s indus-
trial payroll had increased to $3,012,-
600, and in 1918 it jumped to $4,192,-
400. Of the total paid in wages in
1918 male employees received $4,105,-
500 and female employees were paid
$86,900.
During 1918 there were 19 bitumin-
ous coal operations in the county giv-
ing employment to 1914 men who
were paid $2,582,800 in wages. The
value of the coal produced in these
mines was $4,893,200. Five lime
plants employed 648 people who were
paid $1,012,500 in wages. Five brick
and clay works employed 478 men
who received $419,100 in wages for
turning out products worth $1,914,500.
These twenty-nine establishments
produced approximately two-thirds of

in the county. The persons employed

Forester Keller to Get GooZ Appoint-
ment.
Forester John W. Keller, of Boals-
ment as chief of the bureau of silvi-
culture of the Pennsylvania Depart-
ment of Forestry by Gifford Pinchot,
the State’s new Commissioner of For-
estry. Mr. Pinchot’s recommendation
will be presented to the State Forest
Commission at its next meeting, May
7th. It is expected the appointment
will be approved, inasmuch as the
Commission has assented to all of Mr.
Pinchot’s appointments since he went
into office.
Mr. Keller, who is a son of ex-
Judge Jeremiah N. Keller, of Mifflin-
town, succeeds J. S. Illick, who has
been the bureau’s chief since 1911. II-
lick has been assigned to scientific in-
vestigational work and forest research
study.
Chief Keller completed his early ed-
ucation at the Mifflintown High
school, graduating at the head of the
class in 1905. Later he attended the
Lewistown preparatory school and
Susquehanna University.
He entered the Mont Alto State
Forest Academy in 1907, graduating
among the first three students in the
class in 1910. Upon completion of his
forestry course, Keller was appointed
forester in charge of the Blackwell
state forest, in Tioga county, where
he planted more than 1,000,000 trees
in the six years he managed that for-
est.
Later he was transferred to Centre
county, establishing headquarters at
Boalsburg. He handled the Bear
Meadows state forest, and assumed
charge of the Seven Mountain, Nitta-
ny and Penn forests during the war.

Big Day for Knights of Columbus.
Last Sunday was a big day for the
members of Bellefonte Council, No.
1314, Knights of Columbus, the occa-
sion being the celebration of the
fourteenth anniversary of their instal-
lation and the exemplification of the
third degree. A good-sized delega-
tion of Knights from Lock Haven and
Renovo reached Bellefonte on the 9:25
a. m. train and these with the mem-
bers of the Bellefonte Council march-
ed from the lodge rooms on Alleghe-
ny street to the Catholic church on
Bishop street for mass at 10:30
o’clock.
The delegation of visiting Knights
from Williamsport, members of Coun-
cil 366, accompanied by the Verdi
band, reached Bellefonte at 12:30
o'clock on a special train of three
coaches. There were about one hun-
dred and fifty people in this delega-
tion and they made quite a showing as
they marched up High street. The
business meeting and exemplification
of the work of third degree was held
at one o'clock. District deputy Mec-
Carthy and staff, of the Eighth dis-
trict, assisted by the degree team of
the Williamsport Council, exempli-
fied the work.
In the evening all the visitors were
entertained at a luncheon served by
the ladies of the Court of Isabella at
the parochial house. Prior to the spe-
cial train leaving Bellefonte for Wil-
liamsport at 7:30 o’clock the Verdi
band gave a concert on the station
platform which attracted a large
crowd. The day was a beautiful one
and in the words of the Bellefonte
Knights, the celebration was “just
about right.”
Boy Scouts Want to Work.
The Bellefonte organization of Boy
Scouts have formed what is known as
a service bureau. This bureau has as
its goal a two-fold object: First to
assist in relieving the shortage of
available labor; second, to enable the
boys to earn money to buy uniforms
and such scant equipment as is deem-
ed desirable.
The boys have all agreed to use
their spare time doing such work as
the people of Bellefonte and communi-
ty wish to entrust to them. A charge
of 25 cents an hour will be made for
each boy’s services and an adequate
return in work is guaranteed.
To obtain the service of any num-
ber of boys call No. 160-j on the Bell
phone or Wolf’s mill on the Commer-
cial phone. You will then be inform-
ed as to the time that helpers will be
available. This is your opportunity
to get that old job done right. Give
the boys a chance.
It might here be added that the
Bellefonte troop now numbers twen-
ty-six fine boys and they deserve the
encouragement of the people of Belle-
fonte in every way possible.
How soon we all forget! The
prolonged cold weather we have had
this spring has put us all in the dumps
and we all believe that we never saw
its equal. And yet just one year ago,
or to be exact on the night of April
25th, the thermometer dropped to sev-
enteen degrees above zero and snow
flurries filtered through the air. Of
course it had been warm enough pre-
vious to that to bring out the buds
and blossoms on the trees and the re-
sult was practically the entire fruit
crop was ruined. This year the buds
have been so long delayed by the con-
tinued cold that they are not yet out,
and the probabilities are that when
they do burst forth in all their glory
and fragrance it will be late enough to
escape any killing frosts; and this will
make for a bountiful fruit crop, at
least.

BREW.—It was with deep regret
that the people of Bellefonte learned
in them represented approximately |on Wednesday morning of the rather
one-half of the county’s working pop- | sudden death of Harry Brew, of Pitts-
ulation and the wages paid them made burgh, which occurred at four o’clock
up about three-fourths of the county’s | that morning at the home of his |
daughter, Mrs. A. D. Riley, in Craf-
ton, as the result of a stroke of paral-
ysis sustained on Sunday.
Henry Clay Brew was a son of S.
Austin and Margaret Thomas Brew
and was born in Bellefonte. Here he
grew to manhood and received his edu-
cation. While corhparatively a young
man he was united in marriage to Miss
Josephine Kline and shortly there-
after he located in Tyrone where he
accepted a clerkship with the Pennsyi-
vania Railroad company. Later he
went with the Fairbanks Scale compa-
ny and moved to Pittsburgh. When
th= Standard Scale company was or-
ganized in Bellefonte and started in
business out at the old Nittany fur-
nace Mr. Brew took an interest in the
organization and moved his family to
Bellefonte, living here until the Stan-
dard moved to Beaver Falls when he
went to that place. Subsequently he
spent several years in Philadelphia
but eventually went back to Pitts-
burgh and again accepted a position
with the Fairbanks people which he
held until a few years ago when he
went with the Howe Scales company.
He is survived by his wife and one
daughter, Mrs. Riley, of Crafton. One
son, Austin, died eighteen years ago.
He also leaves one sister, Mrs. H. E.
Fenlon, of Bellefonte, and two half-
brothers, Thomas Brew, of Landsford,
and William, of New York. The re-
mains will be brought to Bellefonte
on the 1:26 p. m. train today (Friday)
and taken direct to the Union ceme-
tery for burial. A member of the
Christian Science faith, to which he
was a convert, will read the burial
service at the grave.

JAMISON.—T. B. Jamison, one of
the best known residents of Gregg
township, passed away at his home at
Spring Mills at 7:05 o’clock last Sat-
urday morning, aged 79 years and 18
days. His death was the result of
general debility owing to his advant-
ed age, and was so calm and peaceful
that the transition was hardly observ-
ed by the watchers at his bedside.
Mr. Jamison was not only born in
Gregg township but spent his entire
life in the neighborhood of Spring
Mills. As a young man he engaged
in farming and was quite successful,
but gave up the active life of an ag-
riculturist thirty years or more ago
and embarked in the insurance busi-
ness, in which he also proved a suc-
cess. He was a member of the Luth-
eran church all his life and took the
same deep interest in church affairs
that he manifested in anything and
everything with which he had to do.
He was an ardent Democrat and one
of the old reliables of the party ia:
his district.
Mr. Jamison was twice married, his
first wife being a Miss Gentzel. Sev-
eral years after her death he married
Miss Jennie Miller, of Pine Grove
Mills, who survives, and who is also
in poor health. He also leaves the fol-
lowing children: Mrs. Susan Peters,
of Pleasant Gap, the only surviving
child to his first wife; Mrs. Fred Mar-
tin, of Martinsburg; Mrs. Robert Mil-
ler, of Tyrone; Mrs. R. E. Hockman,
of Philadelphia, and Edward Jamison,
on the old homestead at Spring Mills.
He also leaves one brother, William
Jamison, of Williamsport.
Funeral services were held at his
late home at one o’clock on Tuesday
afternoon by Rev. R. R. Jones, of Cen-
tre Hall, and burial was made in the
Spring Mills cemetery.

NOLL.—Miss Susan Noll, a lifelong
resident of Centre county, died at the
state hospital in Danville on Tuesday
night following a two week’s illness
with pneumonia. She was taken to
the hospital last summer for treat-
ment and her condition was such that
when she contracted pneumonia she
was unable to withstand the ravages
of that disease.
She was a daughter of Samuel and
Rebecca Noll and was born at Rock
Forge on March 3rd, 1841, hence was
79 years, 1 month and 24 days old.
The greater part of her life was spent
at Pleasant Gap where she was widely
known and highly regarded as a most
estimable woman. She was a mem-
ber of the Lutheran church from girl-
hood and led a consistent christian
life. She never married but is surviv-
ed by one sister and a brother, Mrs.
Adam Stine, living in Oklahoma, and
Hon. John Noll, of Bellefonte.
The remains were brought to Belle-
fonte yesterday and taken to Pleas-
ant Gap where funeral services will
be held this afternoon. Burial will be
made in the Noll lot in the cemetery
at Zion.

ZEIGLER.—Daniel M. Zeigler, a
well known resident of Millheim,
dropped dead in the yard of his home
on Monday morning, apoplexy being
assigned as the cause. He was a son
of Michael and Lydia Zeigler and was
78 years, 9 months and 13 days old.
He was a saddler by occupation and
for nineteen years worked for D. A.
Boozer, at Cenre Hall. On July 11th,
1866, he was married to Sarah Wolf,
who survives with one daughter, Miss
Mabel, at home. He also leaves two
sisters and one brother, Mrs. Benja-
min Arney, of Niagara Falls; Mrs.
Geary Van Pelt, of Ithaca, N. Y., and
James, whose whereabouts is un-
known. Rev. J. J. Weaver had charge
of the funeral which was held at ten

veteran of the Civil war, died at his
home in Rebersburg last Thursday,
aged 82 years, 10 months and 29 days.
aE
| He is survived by his wife and one
son, J. R. Fullmer, of Lewistown, and
it was one of the aged gentleman’s
favorite recreations to walk over
the Seven mountains, a distance of
sixty miles, to visit his son and fam-
ily. Burial was made in the Rebers-
burg cemetery on Monday afternoon.
il i
BRADLEY.—Mrs. Ellen Bradley,
widow of the late Benjamin Bradley,

five months as the result of a stroke
of paralysis.
She was born at Ruardean, Glou-
cestershire, England, on September
14th, 1837, hence was in her eighty-
third year. She was the last to pass
away of her father’s family. She
came to this country when a young
woman and had been a resident of
Bellefonte for many years, living to
see her family of six children com-
fortably settled in the pathway of life.
The children are Miss Mary, Mrs.
George P. Bible and Benjamin Jr., of
Bellefonte; Mrs. J. A. Riley and Rob-
ert, of Bradford, and John, of Phila-
delphia, all of whom were at their
mother’s bedside when she passed
away.

services at 2:30 o’clock on Tuesday
afternoon were held in St. John’s
Episcopal church, being conducted by

HUMMEL. — Mrs. Margery A.
Hummel, wife of Edgar Hummel, died
at the McGirk sanitorium in Philips-
burg last Thursday evening following
a serious operation she underwent

Sunday afternoon.
Sapula—Koshko.—The marriage of
Miss Katharine A. Sapula to Michael
Koshko, which was celebrated in the
Catholic church at Clarence on Tues-
day morning at nine o’clock, proved
quite a social event in that bustling
mining centre.
The bride, who is a most estimable
young lady, was gowned in white
beaded georgette and wore a veil.
She was attended by Misses Mary
Poltice, Mary Koshko, Annie Matula,
Katie Krish and Mrs. Mary Kosno-
vitch.
The groom is a fine type of the
young man of foreign parentage with
ambitions to become thoroughly
Americanized. He was in the service
during the war and in conversation
with the writer soon after his return
expressed great gratification at the
opportunity his soldier life had given
him to see and learn what being a re-
ally useful and wholly patriotic citi-
zen means. His best man was Andrew
Tobiosh and the ushers were Andrew
Koshko, Joseph Koshko, George Kosh-
ko and Andrew Matash.
Rev. Father Novak celebrated the
nuptial mass and immediately after-
ward a reception was tendered the
young couple at the home of the
groom’s parents in Clarence.
Soafer—Massey. — A Philadelphia
wedding on Tuesday of last week was
that of John J. Soafer and Miss Anna
J. Massey. The bride is a daughter of
Mrs. Katherine Powers Massey, for-
merly of Bellefonte, and is herself
very well known here from her so-
journ with her aunts, the Misses An-
na and Eva Powers, while attending
school in Bellefonte. During the past
year or so she has been employed as
a stenographer by the W. H. Hoskins
Philadelphia.
Corl—Jordan.—Henry N. Corl and
Miss Pearl A. Jordan, both of Struble,
last week and after securing the nec-
essary license went to the office of jus-
tice of the peace S. Kline Woodring
where they were united in marriage
by that officer of the law. Returning
that evening to the home of the
bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles
Jordan, the young couple were given
an old fashioned serenade. The bride-
groom is a first class machinist and
has his new home all furnished for
the reception of his bride.

——Bellefonte got a sight of some
of the old stuff last Sunday when a
big truck load of whiskey passed
through the town, reported enroute
from Philadelphia to Jamestown, N.
Y. Nary a man, however, got a whiff
of it.
—The Inter-church world move-
ment financial campaign was opened
in St. John’s Reformed church last
Sunday. Their quota is $15,175, and
on Sunday $12,185 was subscribed.
They expect to cover their quota this
week.
——The annual clean-up campaign
in Bellefonte will start Monday, May
24th. Do not wait to be asked to
clean away the dirt and rubbish about
your home or place of business, but
do it at once, both for your own com-
fort and that of your fellow-towns-
men.
——“When it’s apple blossom time
in State College” why not go and sit
out in the open air theatre and enjoy
the beautiful Japanese pageant, with
its background of blossoms and
greenery? Why sit indoors? Take
her and enjoy the music, moonlight,
and dancing maidens, May 28th.
In another column of this pa-
per will be found an official announce-
ment sent out from Harrisburg to the
effect that Gifford Pinchot, the new
State Forestry Commissioner, has oi-
fered for sale to lumbermen all the
marketable chestnut timber on the
state forest reservations, for the as-
signed reason that the trees are so
badly affected with the chestnut blight
that it is only a matter of time until
they will die and fall down of their
own accord, and the Commissioner has
decided that the better way is to sell
them now to lumbermen to chop down.
When the Pennsylvania Department
of Forestry was organized in 1895
Dr. J. T. Rothrock was appointed
commissioner. The doctor was an en-
thusiastic lover of nature and had ac-
cumulated a fund of knowledge of
plants and trees. In the pursuit of
{ the duties of his office he discovered
| the chestnut blight in Pennsylvania,
| chestnut groves and forests of the
i State were doomed. Some work was
done but in the end the campaign pe-
‘tered out. Dr. Rothrock was succeed-
ed as forestry commissioner in 1904
by Robert S. Conklin and that gentle-
man very early in his career discover- |
was |
ed that the chestnut blight
spreading and it would be only a mat-
ter of a few years until all our chest-
nut trees would be dead and gone.
Another vigorous campaign was start-
ed for the eradication of the disease.
An appropriation was secured from
the Legislature and gangs of men
were put in the forests with axes and
| other implements in an effort to check |
the spread of the blight. And then
along comes a sage in woodcraft who
derided the whole story, claiming that
there was no such thing as chestnut
blight and the campaign stopped right
there and nothing more has been
heard of chestnut blight until now
that the Hon. Gifford Pinchot has got-
ed it. But he don’t intend to leave
any chestnuts hang over for his suc-
cessor so he is going to sell the trees
and get rid of the blight as well as
the nuts.
